Help!! I am new to working on my 8N. First, I have been having to charge my battery about every 2 weeks, even though I use it every day. I suspect either generator or voltage regulator. It is a 1950 model. The ammeter stays about 2 units below zero, unless I turn the headlights on, then it goes about 7 or 8 below. I went to Claus' troubleshooting page, but I needed the troubleshooting for dummies page. I guess I need a picture because I don't know which is the Armature on the generator, or if I need to just use a wire terminal connection from the regulator that goes to generator, don't know which one the field connection is either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The armature (sometimes called gen or generator) is the big terminal on the end plate. Now the field is a little harder to find. There are 2 terminals on top, one is a stud that comes out of the case and is the ground connection. The other is insulated and is the field connection. You may have to remove some grime to get a closer look at it...
Happy Motoring
